    tick tock
    but really, what IS time, anyway? what we call "time" doesn't exist, we're just making things that tick faster.

    And why is it all based on 12s and 60s anyway. I often think of how much simpler it would be if all time was based on 10. It would make slightly more sense.... almost. Of course i'm used to metric 10s everywhere....so...

    goddamnit, it doesn't exist.

    Time is a construct.

    Indeed.

    I heard that phrase at the moment 1999 became 2000
    (in my timezone), though it wasn't the first time.

    Just some guy watching the festivities, sitting by
    himself. He was talking to himself, but I heard him.

    stop wearing a watch. don't ask the time unless you need to.

    it takes awhile to get used to it, but inall it's more relaxing, and you don't spend halp your time gazing at your wrist.










    it's hhelpful to be an optimist, too.

    the last sentence sums it all up. Crazy!

    you're right pez, ditching your watch is a good thing. Plus you get to talk to strangers when you ask them what time it is.
